Tanya and Carrie discuss their end of the year plans including what content we are still going to teach and some of the extra fun things we do this time of year to keep kids engaged.

Carrie and Tanya check in on how they have implemented things they learned during the 2023 Summer Book Club while reading "Realizing Diversity: An Equity Framework for Music Education" by Karen Howard.

In this episode, Tanya and Carrie discuss our takeaways from the 2024 OAKE National Conference as well as our general thoughts on Kodály-inspired teaching as we see it today. Of course we talk about Beyoncé too! It all makes sense when you listen.

Carrie and Tanya welcome Debbie O'Shea from Crescendo Music Education to talk about manipulatives in the music room.
